listening		6–9 passages,5–6 questions		60–90 minutes
speaking		6 task		20 munites
writing		2 task		50 munites

1.    Reading

The Reading section consists of questions on 4–6 passages, each approximately 700 words in length. The passages are on academic topics; they are the kind of material that might be found in an undergraduate university textbook. Passages require understanding of rhetorical functions such as cause-effect, compare-contrast and argumentation. Students answer questions about main ideas, details, inferences, essential information, sentence insertion, vocabulary, rhetorical purpose and overall ideas. New types of questions in the TOEFL iBT test require filling out tables or completing summaries. Prior knowledge of the subject under discussion is not necessary to come to the correct answer.

2.    Listening

The Listening section consists of questions on six passages, each 3–5 minutes in length. These passages include two student conversations and four academic lectures or discussions. The conversations involve a student and either a professor or a campus service provider. The lectures are a self-contained portion of an academic lecture, which may involve student participation and does not assume specialized background knowledge in the subject area. Each conversation and lecture passage is heard only once. Test-takers may take notes while they listen and they may refer to their notes when they answer the questions. Each conversation is associated with five questions and each lecture with six. The questions are meant to measure the ability to understand main ideas, important details, implications, relationships between ideas, organization of information, speaker purpose and speaker attitude.

3.    Speaking

The Speaking section consists of six tasks: two independent and four integrated. In the two independent tasks, test-takers answer opinion questions on familiar topics. They are evaluated on their ability to speak spontaneously and convey their ideas clearly and coherently. In two of the integrated tasks, test-takers read a short passage, listen to an academic course lecture or a conversation about campus life and answer a question by combining appropriate information from the text and the talk. In the two remaining integrated tasks, test-takers listen to an academic course lecture or a conversation about campus life and then respond to a question about what they heard. In the integrated tasks, test-takers are evaluated on their ability to appropriately synthesize and effectively convey information from the reading and listening material. Test-takers may take notes as they read and listen and may use their notes to help prepare their responses. Test-takers are given a short preparation time before they have to begin speaking. The responses are digitally recorded, sent to ETS’s Online Scoring Network (OSN), and evaluated by three to six raters.

4.    Writing

The Writing section measures a test taker's ability to write in an academic setting and consists of two tasks: one integrated and one independent. In the integrated task, test-takers read a passage on an academic topic and then listen to a speaker discuss it. The test-taker then writes a summary about the important points in the listening passage and explains how these relate to the key points of the reading passage. In the independent task, the test-taker must write an essay that states their opinion or choice, and then explain it.

 Call  08098352510

 to register at jsayprevarsity

Nigerian student

Over 70,000 students; in 140 countries participated in the PSAT/NMSQT at 1,308 secondary schools in 2011.

Students in Nigeria,whether American citizens or citizens of other nations, must make arrangements with a local school to register and take the PSAT/NMSQT test.

PSAT TEST DATES

A school can decides when to give the test to its students. But the exam period for each year is usually around October

Here at jsayprevarsity, we help students to sign up for the test, by

• Paying The  Test Fees on behalf of the student
• Receiving The Official Student Guide To The PSAT/NMSQT, Which Includes A Full-Length Practice Test

Benefit of t he PSAT

A high score on PSAT exam can bring to a student closer to top colleges in the USA who are always on the lookout for good students

Firstly the PSAT is the first interaction with the SAT test.  It gives a student the sense of the type of questions he/she will be asked on the SAT, the speed of the test, the endurance required, and lastly, the content that is covered in sat.  A test taker needs to prepare for the PSAT so that he or she can have a good experience with it and then prepare further more for a successful run on the SAT.

PSAT test format

Each of the three sections is scored on a scale of 20 to 80 points, which add up to a maximum composite score of 240 points

The test is composed of three sections:

 Math,

Critical Reading,

Writing Skills,

 The test is mostly multiple-choice, but there are 10 open-response math questions that require takers to enter their responses on a grid. Students are allowed to use calculators on the math sections

The PSAT includes multiple-choice questions on vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, algebra, geometry, and numbers and operations.  It covered this material exactly as the SAT does, but with half the number of sections.

The PSAT consists of five sub-sections.  There are two sections of Reading containing twenty-four questions each.  There are two sections of Math, one of which contains twenty questions, and one of which contains eighteen questions. Finally, there is a single writing section that contains thirty-nine questions. 

The SAT consists of ten sections. Three sections of Reading are comprised of two sections of twenty-four questions and one section of nineteen questions.  Three sections of Math are comprised of one section of twenty questions, one section of eighteen questions, and one section of sixteen questions.

Finally, the three sections of Writing are comprised of an essay, a section of thirty-five questions, and a section of fourteen questions.

The PSAT is scored exactly like the SAT. The test taker is awarded one full point for each correct answer, a quarter  is deducted of a point for each incorrect answer, and is neither awarded nor deducted any points for leaving a question blank. 

 The score is compiled by totaling up a raw score in each the reading, writing, and math sections and then converting those raw scores to scaled scores and adding them together.  The PSAT is scored out of a total of 240 points, equally distributed among reading, writing, and math.

The sat PSAT score is not factored into a student college application unambiguously and neither enlarges nor prevents a student from the schools they can apply to.
